Is it permissible to demolish and rebuild the roof structure and upgrade parts of Masjid Jamek Bagan Belat, and how should movable waqf property be handled?

Summary

The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that demolishing and rebuilding the roof structure and upgrading parts of Masjid Jamek Bagan Belat is permissible. Temporary Friday prayers may be held in a suitable surau or hall. The decision also sets guidelines for disposing of movable waqf property: items that may still be useful are kept, given to a nearby mosque or surau, sold, given to the poor and needy, or used for the benefit of Muslims, in that order. Items that can no longer be used at all are considered to have lost their waqf status and are given to the nearest family of the endower or destroyed reasonably while preserving their dignity.
